So, Ping Yao took a large bag of silver, and under Yahuan's complicated gaze, he walked out of the gate of the Qing Palace. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Ping Yao returned to Hanfu.

Xuezhu poured tea for Ping Yao and said, "The master has never come back, I thought something was wrong in the palace, and I was about to write a letter to ask." ”

"Something is wrong."

What was originally a simple matter of being cheated by someone has become troublesome and complicated.

Ping Yao glanced at the courtyard and asked, "What about Yan Geometry?" Is he out? ”

Xue Zhu nodded: "Young Master Yan went to the Prince's Mansion last night, and then went out of the city." ”

It must have been Yun Yi who let Yan Geometry out of the city.

However, what should Yan Geometry do now when he is out of the city?

Ping Yao thought about it, but couldn't think of it, so she put it away. "Is there any news from the state of Yang?"

Xue Zhu's originally indifferent face became serious: "The reason why I am in a hurry to find the master is that I want to inform the master of this matter. I got the news this morning that a soldier who came back from Yangzhou said that before the Song army encountered the surprise attack of the Jokhang, he detected that the Song army was collaborating with the enemy and deliberately brought tens of thousands of troops into the ambush circle of the Jokhang. ”

Ping Yao fiddled with the teacup and asked, "When did the news reach the palace?" ”

"Noon."

No wonder Jiang Heng was suddenly called away at night. It must be because of this.

A flying bird flew over Chu Fengju. The sound of wings flapping rises and falls.

Ping Yao looked up and looked at the white bird, facing the autumn wind, towards the blue sky.

She whispered, "Don't worry, it's not our turn to intervene yet." ”

Jiang Heng stayed in the palace overnight and did not come back. The next day, someone brought a message, saying that she couldn't accompany Ping Yao to find her relatives, so it was better to let Ping Yao stay for another day and find her after the palace test was over.

The one who brought the words was Jiang Heng's personal servant at night. Obedient, very deferential to Ping Yao.

Ping Yao naturally politely said that it was okay.

The maid who took care of her was afraid that she would be bored, so she told Ping Yao about the trivial matters of the Qing Palace.

Only then did Ping Yao know that in the Qing Palace, Jiang Hengye only had Kuang Lanjing as a wife.

But everyone in the house knows that Jiang Heng doesn't like Kuang Lanjing at night, and only during the New Year's holidays will he go to Kuang Lanjing's Qingyun Pavilion to sit.

Ping Yao didn't understand, since Jiang Hengye didn't like Kuang Lanjing, why did she marry someone back?

Doesn't it delay the girl's youth?

Ping Yao asked Yahuan mysteriously: "Your master has also reached the age of starting a family, why is there only one concubine in the house?" Does he dislike women? ”

The little girl's face was crimson, and she couldn't say anything neatly when she was in a hurry: "Girl, don't say more, our master, our master is normal." ”

"You know again."

The little girl's face turned even redder: "Of course I know, when Master Jing first entered the mansion, they were the ones I served." ”

"Just because you like a man doesn't mean you can't like a woman."

The little girl is wholeheartedly devoted to Jiang Hengye, and does not allow others to say anything bad about Jiang Hengye.

The girl stomped her feet angrily: "Girl, why do you look like this, our master is so good to you, but you say this about him." ”

Ping Yao saw that the little girl was really angry, and apologized obediently: "I know, aren't you Jing masters pregnant?" ”

The little girl was stunned, and her anger really shifted: "Master Jing is pregnant?" When? The last time the master went to Qingyun Pavilion, it seems to be a long time ago, right? ”

The little girl remembered it for a long time.

It can be seen that Jiang Hengye is really the Qingyun Hall that he went to a long time ago.

"Like, it's the Queen Mother's birthday, right?"

It wasn't that long ago.

Ping Yao said: "Yes, it's been more than a month." It's just when I react. ”

The little girl was happy: "Great, in this case, Master Jing may be favored, and he won't have to work so hard." ”

After speaking, the little girl looked at Ping Yao.

Asked a little tongue-in-cheek: "Girl, if I say this, will you be unhappy?" ”

Ping Yao was puzzled.

What's upset about her? It's not **** anything.

The little girl clasped her fingers and whispered, "The master actually doesn't seem to like women very much." You see, it's just the four of us who take care of him. And you, girl, are the first girl brought back by the master. The master cares about you again, and if you don't go home, you will deliberately let the little jujube talk to you. I also want to accompany you to find your relatives. There is only one woman in our house, and the master will never treat her like this. So we all think that the master should like you, girl. ”

I look up to her too much.

Ping Yao listened to the little girl, smiled lightly, and said, "It's impossible for me to talk to your master." ”

The little girl was puzzled: "Why?" ”

You don't say it, because you don't like it. This is the Qing Prince's Mansion, girl.

Ping Yao smiled and didn't speak.

Because, Jiang Hengye is her cousin.

In this era, cousins still have the possibility of getting married.

But if it's a cousin, that's ****.

Although, there are quite a lot of **** in this era.

In the blink of an eye, the day of the temple test came.

The girl who took care of Ping Yao woke up Ping Yao: "Girl, it's not early, you can get up." ”

Ping Yao looked at the bright sky outside, and judged that the time of appearance was probably only five o'clock at the latest.

Ping Yao didn't get up early, and it was about half past six.

So it's really difficult to get her up at five o'clock.

It's a little early.

Ping Yao got up with her clothes draped and opened the window.

The fresh and cold air entered the room, sweeping away what little relaxation Ping Yao had left.

Ping Yao got dressed, and Yahuan waited for her to wash, while asking, "What makeup does the girl want later?" Slaves and maids are good at picking jewelry. ”

Ping Yao refused with a smile: "I'll just come by myself." ”

On weekdays, Ping Yao only rubbed a little powder to prevent dust, and rarely wore makeup.

However, in ancient times, makeup was just a layer of powder and something to be wiped.

Still as usual, his face was clean and fresh, and he wore a dark green pleated skirt without too much decoration.

Yahuan looked at Ping Yao's simple appearance, as if she didn't think it was enough, and wanted to say something.

In the end, the exit was: "The girl is naturally beautiful, and this is also very good." ”

So what she really meant was that Ping Yao's outfit was too simple.

Ping Yao smiled faintly and didn't say much.

Outside, a girl asked softly, "Is the girl up?" ”

Yahuanying, who was holding a mirror for Ping Yao: "It's been cleaned up." ”

"Your Highness invites the girl to dinner in the hall."

Ping Yao walked out, and there was a girl in green standing outside.

Ping Yao asked, "Your Highness is back?" ”

The girl smiled and said, "I came back last night." It was too late to come back, and the girl didn't know. ”

"Let's go, then."

After being there, it's good to visit the temple test.

Yahuan took Ping Yao to the main hall.

The morning light was already bright, with a thin mist.

The dining room was surrounded by bouquets of flowers, and Jiang Heng was sitting at the dining table waiting for Ping Yao at night.

Ping Yao walked in, and the waiting maid saluted her. Bring Ping Yao into the seat.

Jiang Heng helped Ping Yao with a bun at night and asked her, "Did you get up too early?" Sleepy or not? ”

Ping Yao smiled: "It's okay, I went to bed earlier anyway." Isn't there a temple exam held today? ”

Jiang Heng said at night: "If it weren't for the palace test, you wouldn't have asked Yahuan to wake you up so early." I had to get there early. ”

Ping Yao nodded. Didn't say anything more.

Jiang Heng didn't speak again at night.

After breakfast, Jiang Heng went to change his clothes at night and called Ping Yao over.

Jiang Heng found a eunuch's clothes for Ping Yao at night, and asked Ping Yao to pretend to be his personal eunuch and sneak into the examination room.

Ping Yao entered Dachang Palace again.

The ancient palace examination procedures were complicated. Candidates are admitted at dawn. When Ping Yao got up, they had already entered the palace.

Ping Yao followed Jiang Heng to the Baohe Hall at night.

All the candidates gathered in the square in front of the Bohol Palace, divided into four columns, waited for the ceremony to end, and entered the hall to answer the questions.

The one who led Jiang Heng into the night was an old eunuch, who had already accompanied Emperor Dachang to invigilate many palace exams, and he was clear about the process of the palace exam. It was specially sent to help Jiang Hengye.

The timing of the royal ceremony is very good.

It is the ritual of prostration.

Jiang Heng walked through the central axis of the Baohe Hall at night, and the candidates on both sides knelt down to salute under the guidance of the ceremonial officer.

There are more than 200 candidates, and the momentum is very huge.

Ping Yao followed behind Jiang Hengye and walked straight through.

Walking to the end of the candidates, Ping Yao saw Xu Jian among the kneeling candidates.

He knelt first, unusually calm, without the slightest sense of tension. The whole person is much more stable.

It's no longer as weak as it was at the beginning.

Ping Yao knew that the arrangement of the palace examination was based on the ranking.

Xu Jian is ranked first, and he is the Huiyuan who will take the exam.

Jiang Heng walked all the way to the Baohe Hall at night and sat down on the main seat of the Baohe Palace.

The ceremonial officer guides the candidates to kowtow.

Ping Yao stood beside Jiang Hengye, looking at the four long columns of candidates in the hall, kneeling on the ground with a humble face, with fear and longing for the royal family.

On the contrary, it was Xu Jian, who was too calm at this time and seemed a little out of place.

Jiang Hengye also noticed Xu Jian, who was extremely calm.

After saluting, Jiang Hengye said a few words of blessing and announced his entry.

Candidates whispered.

In the Bohol Palace, there are hundreds of sets of red tables and chairs. Pen and paper are available on it.

The candidates were surprisingly quiet, and they found their seats one after another, waiting for the questions to be answered.

The examination room of more than 200 people is wide and neat. There is not a trace of disorder.

The invigilator will issue the paper and answer the questions.

It's a question. Three or four hundred words, completed before noon within a limited time.

Ping Yao glanced at Xu Jian.

After the test paper was sent, Xu Jian glanced at the test questions, then put the answer sheet aside, grinding it unhurriedly.

Calm attitude and confident.

There were three imperial examinations, the township examination, and the general examination, and Xu Jian was the first. If you don't have some skills, Xu Jian without the slightest background, it is impossible to get to this point.

In the last palace test, Xu Jian is in such a good state, it is very likely that he will achieve a good story of three yuan and the first.

When most of the candidates began to answer the questions, Jiang Heng looked at Ping Yao at night and asked her with her eyes if she wanted to rest.

Ping Yao nodded.

Jiang Heng took Ping Yao to the side hall of the Baohe Hall at night. The temple examination takes a long time, so a place to rest is set up.

The west side hall is dedicated to Jiang Heng's night rest.

The two went in, and a palace maid quickly helped Jiang Heng change his clothes at night and changed into civilian clothes. The other palace maids have tea makers, some prepare dim sum, and they are very complete.

After cleaning up, Jiang Heng asked everyone else to go down at night.

Only Ping Yao was left in the side hall.

Jiang Heng asked Ping Yao to sit down at night and handed Ping Yao a cup of tea. "I saw you were looking at the candidate in the second row."

Jiang Heng asked at night, it was Xu Jian.

Ping Yao said: "I just feel that he is very different." The other candidates were very nervous, but he was alone, and he seemed very calm. ”

When Jiang Hengye heard this, he smiled lightly: "It's a little similar to you." ”

Ping Yao raised her eyes and looked at Jiang Hengye, not quite understanding what he meant.

Jiang Hengye put down the teacup in his hand, looked at the snacks on the table, and explained: "Other palace maids are bent on getting their father's presence. But you can't avoid it. ”

For some reason, Ping Yao remembered Kuang Lanjing again.

Perception told Ping Yao that maybe Jiang Heng didn't have an indifferent attitude towards Kuang Lanjing at night.

If it really didn't matter, Jiang Heng couldn't have this knot at night.

Is it because of Kuang Lanjing that he hates women who want to seek glory and wealth, or because of Kuang Lanjing, he hates women who want to seek glory and wealth?

Ping Yao looked at the delicate orchids blooming in the hall and said to Jiang Hengye: "Everyone's pursuit is different. Even if you like the same thing, you may have different starting points. Take the peony flower as an example, some people like it because it is gorgeous, expensive, and a favorite of the aristocracy. But some people just think about its flamboyant appearance and graceful posture. ”

Jiang Hengye, who has always been calm and gentle, suddenly became obscure and silent when he heard this.

Then Jiang Hengye smiled.

Ping Yao actually saw a touch of indifference and ridicule in that warm smile.

To make Jiang Heng, who has always been moody, show this kind of expression at night, it must be the most intolerable thing in his heart.

After the palace examination in the morning, all the examination papers were sent to Jiang Hengye.

According to the rules of the Qing Netherworld Continent, there is no need to re-copy the test papers and cover up the name in the palace exam.

Anyway, it is the royal people's selection, and the choice is to help the royal family sit firmly in the world, and they will not succeed in pitting themselves.

Of the more than 200 test papers, Jiang Hengye took one casually, swept the contents inside, and put it aside.

If the font is not neat, kick it off. If you don't start with it, kick it out. If the words do not reach the meaning or the expression is not clear, kick it out. If the article is bland and has no content, kick it out.

After a round of screening, there were less than twenty test papers left in Jiang Hengye's hands.

At this time, it was only the time of a stick of incense.

Ping Yao watched silently, and those eliminated test papers were taken out by his subordinates to deal with them.

Those candidates who have worked hard for decades have come to naught.

As if it was such a joke, it was thrown away by Jiang Hengye casually, and his fate has been rewritten since then.

Xu Jian's test paper was kept.

As Xie Yuan and Hui Yuan, he will definitely not be out so easily.

In the second round of selection, Jiang Hengye was obviously much more serious than the first round.

Jiang Hengye used another stick of incense to read more than 20 articles, leaving five copies.

The top three are undoubtedly produced from these five parts.

Xu Jian Nature is among the top five.

Ping Yao stood behind Jiang Hengye and watched him interrogate him for two rounds, probably figuring out Jiang Hengye's preferences. (To be continued.) )
